Thank you.  That did do the trick.

Is the gateway detection for announced gateways?
Is there a script that can probe to see if the router is a gateway and 
if so make it available?

I was under the mistaken impression that because I hadn't configured 
olsr (nor had I disabled it) that I was not running OLSR.  Thanks to 
Sven Ola it seems that it was a zero conf olsr.  Without specifying 
ifconfig eth1:bat 10.0.5.* the batmand eth1  command seemed to work (the 
same for batmand -g 5mbit eth1 vlan1) and batmand -c -d 1/2/3/4 show 
batman running.


Is it normal that I have to kill and restart batman for the new gateway 
to be noticed?
